What is the effect of pressure and speed in sound waves?

Speed affects the frequency and pressure affects the wavelength.


How does solid affects the speed of sound?

The speed of sound varies, depending on what material it goes through.


How does temp and humidity change the speed of sound?

Yes, it affects the density of air and thus the speed of sound in air.


How does each factor affect transmission of sound waves?

Pressure does not make any change in the speed of sound But temperature affects it. Velocity is proportional to the square root of kelvin temperature Humidity also affects the speed of sound. Higher the humidity more the speed


How elasticity of a medium affects the speed at which sound travels?

by causeing larger sound waves through objects


Why does the speed of sound change if the temperature of the medium change?

The speed of sound is directly proportional to the temperature of the medium. This is because temperature affects the average speed of the molecules in the medium, which in turn affects how quickly sound waves can travel through it. As temperature increases, the speed of sound also increases due to the higher molecular activity.


Explain how temperature affects the speed of sound?

Speed of sound depends on the density of the medium. As temperature increases density decreases due to expansion in the volume. Hence speed of sound gets affected by the change in temperature. Speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of the temperature of the medium.


Why does the water pressure of the water vapor in the atmosphere affects the speed of sound waves?

because there is water also moving in it and sound also moves in it so thats why water vapours affect our sound speed


What are 2 things that affects the speed of sound?

There are many things that affects. Medium and temperature are examples.


Does the temperature of water affect the pitch of sound?

Presumably you mean sound traveling through water. Temperature affects the density of water, therefore the speed of sound in water, and pitch is frequency, so yes, temperature affects pitch.


What affects the speed of sound through air?

It is an amazing fact that the speed of sound in air is a function of temperature only. Even very large pressure changes produce only very small changes in the speed of sound. The speed of sound in air is determined by the air itself. It is not dependent upon the sound amplitude, frequency or wavelength. Scroll down to related links and look at "Speed of sound - temperature matters, not air pressure".


What affects the speed of sound waves traveling the air?

It is mainly the temperature of the air. Speed of sound in air is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × T. T = Temperature in °C. Speed of sound in air at 20°C is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × 20 = 343 m/s.
